Thursday, 7 September, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Thursday, 7 September, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Clear and cool, 36 in am.  I picked all the tomatoes and four bushels of corn and sent one bushel of tomatoes and two bushels of corn to Marilyn's when the boys went to Middleburg.
Comment:  Sounds like the garden did very well that year.  We were always running to Middleburgh or Grand Gorge for parts, supplies or to get something fixed.  That old house and the farm equipment needed constant repair and maintenance.  Along with constantly taking care of the damned cows, the upkeep sure screwed up a lot of weekends and holidays....here is the old barn with Marilyn's youngest boy Daniel...probably in the seventies....

No comments:

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
